Dot Day at Deal Island Elementary School Helps Instill Confidence in a Budding Artist.

Deal Island Elementary School special subjects teacher Jennifer Jones said, "On September 19, we celebrated International Dot Day which is based on the book by Peter Reynolds "The Dot" which is about a little girl who does not think she can draw until an Art teacher convinces her that all you have to do is start with a dot. The little girl is celebrated for her small drawing and inspires her to draw more art and encourage others around her to do the same. Our school took that idea and incorporated dots into all of our lessons, our clothes and more. We embraced how using a small dot can inspire a bigger idea and to make a mark on the world. "
